Association of MASLD with chronic kidney disease according to metabolic profiles and fibrosis severity: a KNHANES analysis.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Using a Korean national health survey, researchers checked whether fatty liver disease linked to metabolism (MASLD) goes along with kidney disease. They also looked at whether metabolic problems like diabetes and liver scarring make that link stronger. This kind of snapshot study shows a link, not proof of cause. The part of the abstract we have does not give the number of people or the results.
